Question Updated Bios but tanked GPU scores by 1500-2000pts

[instawookie]

I'm a 14700k owner, and updated my bios to f29D to assist with intel issues. In doing so I feel like a setting was added or I'm missing a setting somewhere that's gimping GPU performance. I've listed below my bios changes and I feel like somewhere I'm missing something stupid that would cause a 20fps drop in Timespy runs. Typically my machine hits 32700-33k runs, I'm confused because CPU score never really changed after the update.

I've re-enabled Insta 6ghz feature, set my XMP profile 1 , Resizeable bar enabled, 4g encoding enabled, disabled integrated graphics, and also validated PCI- lane speed is still x16.
I've also reinstalled my GPU drivers and let Auto OC reconfigure itself.

System specs
14700k w/ Contact Frame and D30 360MM AIO
Z690 Aorus Ultra F29D bios
48GB Corsair Titanium DDR5 6000mhz CL30
Gigabyte 4090 OC
1200W EVGA PSU

Most higher end boards like yours had unlimited power limits set in bios as defaults.
Meaning the CPU boosts longer than spec and pulled a lot more power than spec.
Overclocking the chip longer and with higher voltages than spec.
The new bios has the default Intel settings as the default setting instead of overclocked settings.
You can change the settings back to the overclock settings in bios if you feel you need to.
But you also need to change the boost times and power limits back to the original overclocked bios settings .
6ghz for 30 seconds and 6ghz 1 1/2 minutes makes a big difference in average frame rate in a short benchmark.

Mid August Intel will issue another update to resolve an issue with another part of the CPU being over-volted and causing failures.
This may or may not affect performance ,we will only know after the update.

I figured I would lose some performance, just didn't consider it to be that drastic. I guess I was more so confused or misled by the benchmarks illustrating CPU score never changing, but my GPU score suffered instead. I did Benchmarks with Intel default limits enabled and disabled but the differences was minimal.

But I guess if the CPU isn't pushing the GPU as hard the results are showing me the differences now, I may end up reverting back to the old bios and YOLO the chip lol.
